Kifungu cha 1.

Article 1.

Itikadi ya Kiislamu ('aqeedah) ndiyo msingi wa Dola. Hakuna chochote kinachoruhusiwa kuwepo katika muundo wa serikali, uwajibikaji, au jambo lingine lolote linalohusiana na serikali, ambacho hakichukui itikadi kuwa chanzo chake. Itikadi pia ndiyo chanzo cha katiba ya Dola na kanuni za sharia. Hakuna kinachohusiana na katiba au kanuni, kinachoruhusiwa kuwepo isipokuwa kinatokana na 'aqeedah ya Kiislamu.

The Islamic creed (’aqeedah) constitutes the foundation of the State. Nothing is permitted to exist in the government's structure, accountability, or any other aspect connected with the government, that does not take the creed as its source. The creed is also the source for the State's constitution and shar’ai canons. Nothing connected to the constitution or canons, is permitted to exist unless it emanates from the Islamic ’aqeedah.

Kifungu cha 2.

Article 2.

Dār al-Islām ni kile kiini kinachotekeleza hukumu za Uislamu katika mambo ya maisha, na ambacho usalama wake unadumishwa na Waislamu. Dār al-Kufr ni kile kiini kinachotekeleza hukumu za ukafiri, na ambacho usalama wake unadumishwa na makafiri.

The domain of Islam (Dar al-Islam) is that entity which applies the rules of Islam in life's affairs and whose security is maintained by Muslims. The domain of disbelief (Dar al-Kufr) is that entity which applies the rules of kufr and whose security is maintained by the kuffar.

Article 3.

Khalifa amepewa mamlaka ya kupitisha hukumu za kimungu (Ahkam Shari’ah) zinazotungwa kuwa katiba na kanuni. Mara Khalifa anapokwisha kupitisha hukumu ya kimungu, hukumu hiyo peke yake ndiyo inakuwa hukumu ya kimungu ambayo lazima itungwe kisha itekelezwe. Kila raia lazima amtii hukumu hiyo iliyopitishwa, hadharani na kwa siri. Rasimu ya Katiba, Ibara ya 4.

The Khaleefah is empowered to adopt divine rules (AHkam Shari’ah) enacted as consitution and canons. Once the Khaleefah has adopted a divine rule, that rule, alone, becomes the divine rule that must be enacted and then implemented. Every citizen must openly and secretly obey that adopted rule. A Draft Constitution Article 4.

Khalifa hachukui kanuni za Mwenyezi Mungu zinazohusu ibada, yaani ‘ibadat, isipokuwa zile zinazohusiana na zakah (sadaka ya lazima) na jihadi (vita). Pia, hachukui fikra yoyote inayohusiana na itikadi ya Kiislamu.
